PWCBSD - Philips USB webcam driver for FreeBSD 5.4 and higher
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Which webcams are supported?
A: This driver should support all webcams that are supported by
   the original Linux pwc driver.

Q: How to compile/install?
A: Make sure you have kernel sources installed then either just type: make
   or if you want the driver to have mmap(*) support type: make mmap
   then as root type: make install

   (*) Some applications only work with the driver if it has mmap support.
       If you do enable mmap support in the driver beware that unplugging
       your webcam while it is in use may crash your system. So if you do
       enable mmap support always remember to first exit the application
       that is using the webcam before unplugging the webcam.

Q: How to load driver?
A: As root type: kldload pwc
   If the webcam was already plugged in before you loaded the driver you have
   to unplug it first.To load the driver at boot add: pwc_load="YES"
   to /boot/loader.conf.

multimedia/mplayer works out of the box with this driver. Other applications
may need to be patched before they can work with this driver.
